Movies Seen Recently: Bounty Hunters, Gallowwalkers, Legally Blonde

Bounty Hunters (2016) – A light-hearted Hong Kong action flick following two ex-Interpol agents who are now barely scraping by with their own bumbling security company; when their client is killed, they fall in with a three-person bounty hunter team and get involved in international intrigue between Korea, China and Thailand. Much guns, many boom.

 


Gallowwalkers (2012) – Interesting-in-concept but ultimately unsuccessful supernatural western starring Wesley Snipes as a revenge-driven loner whose quarry don’t stay dead.  Plenty of tableaus are nice to look at (yep, somebody watched a lot of Leone!), and there are engaging scenes, but the plot plays hide-and-seek too much, and all of the characters are kept at arm’s length, preventing any emotional involvement on the part of the reader. (The female lead is so underused they could just credit her as “two boobs in a corset.”)


Legally Blonde (2001) – (Yeah, I’m playing catch-up with mainstream pop culture. Deal.) It’s a fun takedown of Ivy League pretensions, and a demonstration that non-intellectuals can be intelligent too.
